Georgia with an interesting experiment
-
Trump was for it before he was against it.
Seems believable. How do you go from ‘LIBERATE MICHIGAN’ to ‘I disagree strongly’ with Georgia in a single day?

Extraordinary flip-flopping of epic proportions!

I find the lack of coordination in your country extraordinary. Your death toll is heading for 60k and the government will simply say "I wouldn't do that if I were you" but allow a governor to drop the donkey in a minefield.

It's because they invented freedom and now they have no idea what to do with it.
In completely unrelated news, I've recently tattooed 'Help Me' on my eyelids.

Well he has practice. “This is not a pandemic” to “I always knew it was a pandemic”.

Part of it is constitutional. But not all. The federal government can coordinate supply for example, but Trump publicly waffles on how much he wants to be responsible for that.
Personally I’m very happy that my governor is making the calls for NY rather than Trump.

We talked about gyms.
How about nail salons? Doesn’t it seem just a matter of time until the nail lady gets it from a customer? They spend, what, 15+ minutes face to face in pretty close quarters with each successive customer? Even with masks on that’s a lot of time. Then when the employee gets it they spend some number of infectious asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic days that close to numerous customers.
Strikes me as up there with gyms on the list of places that I wouldn’t open on the first wave.

From our local (400 feet away from my place) grocer:
"Dear Shoppers,
It is our duty to report that an employee tested positive for COVID-19 today, April 23rd. We have consulted with the health department and our particular situation has been deemed a 'low risk' exposure, and have been cleared to stay open. We have since conducted a deep sanitation to the best of our ability and have scheduled a professional COVID santitation cleaning for tomorrow afternoon. As we did not want to leave anyone in the community without any needed goods, we will remain open for limited hours tomorrow, April 24th, from 8AM-1PM. During this time, we will be offering curbside pickup so that customers do not need to enter into the store if they so choose.
We will reopen on Saturday, April 25th at 7:30AM. We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your understanding."

I remember the halcyon days of late March and early April when the grocery stores would bother to tell us those things.

Nail salons? More like coffin nail salons, if people go there these days, if you know what I mean.
I mean people will die if they go to nail salons.

Considering how prevalent the virus has proven to be, it is clearly absurd to worry much about that sort of thing now.

This Long Term Care facility is adjacent to my old neighborhood that I moved out of last summer. My cousin's father-in-law lives there.

Too funny, I started this post with ‘Copper’, thinking this was his post, had to go back and edit when I noticed it was actually you.
Anyway I’m not all that worried about massive deaths in nail salons, these Vietnamese slave girls tend to be quite young.
It’s more the thought process of the governor. One would think the early waves would be businesses with lots of economic bang for your epidemiological buck, and I don’t see how nail salons fit that bill.

Maybe the Governor or Georgia just have a special soft spot for some of the young Vietnamese slave girls’ livelihood, maybe someone very near and dear to him desperately needs to get his/her nails done?

That just shows your inability to discriminate between people outside your tribe. "More like" is my wording.

Ohio is leading the way again. DeWine has enlisted Ohio companies to massively increase testing supplies and capability during May. By May 13 we should be able to test 18,000 a day and it will go up from there. he enlisted former governors Dick Celeste and Robert Taft to help him (why not Strickland and Kasich, I wonder? both more recent) make the calls to make these things happen.
Personally I think 50 powerful governors can make more happen for their citizens than one federal government. So I'm with Jon on this.
